To see how well the Google Glass camera stacks up, I took it, a Nikon SLR and a Nikon point-and-shoot to several places in San Francisco. My disclaimer: I am not a trained photographer. So I asked Kathy Pyon, one of The Times' photo editors, to evaluate the results. Here is her report card.

Compositionally, the Nikon picture looks better because of the framing of the photo, although the way Glass captures the blues is impressive. Left: Shot with a Nikon D3100 SLR with an 18-55mm lens. Right: Shot with Google Glass.
